into Atlanta! WAR HORSE is the powerful story of young Albert’s beloved
horse, Joey, who has been enlisted to fight for the English in World War I. In a
tale Time Magazine calls “a landmark theatre event,” Joey is caught in
enemy crossfire and ends up serving both sides of the war before landing in no
man’s land. Albert, not old enough to enlist, embarks on a treacherous mission
to find his horse and bring him home. What follows is a remarkable tale of
courage, loyalty, and friendship, filled with stirring music and songs and told
with some of the most innovative stagecraft of our time.

MILLION DOLLAR
QUARTET
March 12 – 17,
2013
MILLION
DOLLAR QUARTET, the Tony
Award®-winning Broadway musical inspired by the true story of four rock ‘n’ roll
icons, is making its premiere in Atlanta! On December 4, 1956 an auspicious
twist of fate brought Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis
Presley together. Sam Phillips, the “Father of Rock ‘n’ Roll” who was
responsible for launching the careers of each icon, brought the four legendary
musicians together at the Sun Records storefront studio in Memphis for the first
and only time. The resulting evening became known as one the greatest rock ‘n’
roll jam sessions in history. MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET brings that
legendary night to life with an irresistible tale of broken promises, secrets,
betrayal and celebrations featuring an eclectic score of rock, gospel, R&B
and country hits including “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “Hound
Dog” and more. Don’t’ miss your chance to be a fly on the wall of fame…at
MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET!
SISTER ACT
April 30 – May 5,
2013
SISTER
ACT is Broadway’s
feel-amazing musical comedy smash! The New York Post calls it
“ridiculously fun,” and audiences are jumping to their feet in total agreement!
Featuring original music by 8-time Oscar® winner Alan Menken (Beauty and the
Beast, The Little Mermaid, Little Shop of Horrors), SISTER
ACT tells the story of Deloris Van Cartier, a wannabe diva whose life takes
a surprising turn when she witnesses a crime and the cops hide her in the last
place anyone would think to look – a convent! Under the suspicious watch of
Mother Superior, Deloris helps her fellow sisters find their voices as she
unexpectedly rediscovers her own. A sparkling tribute to the universal power of
friendship, SISTER ACT is reason to rejoice!
